A Day in the Death of Joe Egg concerns Bri and Sheila, and their handicapped child (nicknamed Joe Egg) aged 10. The parents invent conversations and personality traits for the child, even though she seems unable to communicate in any way. As Bri and Sheila begin to fabricate scenarios, their marriage comes under increasing strain. This production-- starring comedian Eddie Izzard and Victoria Hamilton and directed by Laurence Boswell--originated in London's West End where it received extraordinary acclaim.
